    10 - Plush (Ten)

    What is there to say about this song? At first, this is probably Ed's greatest vocal performance bar none. It's a lot different than his other Ten vocal performancs but this one is so unique and that's why I love! AND I FEEL IT!! I feel that emotion Ed. You really know how to write. When the dog begin to smell her!? YEAAA!! And just listen to it. That's a classic Stone Gossard riff right there. It's amazing how he could do so much with that style yet still keep it fresh. AND I FEEL IT!! Man... that line is so deep and meaningful I just had to shout it again. DOGS DOGS!! YEA!! It's weird though. I've never heard this song played live. Makes you wonder why they are keeping this in the vault...

    WTF???????






    Nice list of course I dont agree, but different strokes for different folkes. and by the way I loved the whole Plush thing, It caught me off gaurd at first but once I realized it was a joke I thought it was pretty funny

    79 - Unemployable (Pearl Jam)

    Something about this song seems ssoooooo familiar. Like ripped off familiar. But until I can figure it out, I can only credit it to Pearl Jam and give it this good a ranking because it really is a fine tune.

    That's what i was thinking from the first note i heard in this song... and guess what - i figured it out :

    BORN IN THE U.S.A !!! the verse is almost an exact copy !

    Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to read this. Good or bad opinion of it or me, just thank you for reading it. It means a lot. And this took me ten days to complete, according to the post times on the site.

    Also, what's with the off he goes hate? Seriously now!

    One question: Are you a Pearl Jam chick? I'm sensing a feminine touch to some of your rankings.

    If not sorry to totally bum you out!

    I actually did this on another board. But please, it'd mean a lot of you'd look through it. It took a lot of work (and free time) to complete this and I'd like to share my work.:)

    "74 - Even Flow (Ten)

    Ok, here's a rant. My teacher had this on his stereo before class last week. The two girls behind me said "Oh wow, the Guitar Hero song!" I cringed. I wanted to turn around and explain to them how it's not the guitar hero song. How it is one of the most popular songs by one of the most important American bands and has been long before Guitar Hero came out last week. I don't care if it looks like I'm docking it points because of this, because clearly I am. And why the **** do they feel the need to play this to EVERY show!? Why!? Which once again brings me back to the awesomeness that was the Vic show. No Even Flow! Yay! Finally! And why this tour did they need to extend it to about 11 minutes why, and still manage to speed it up by nearly double the speed!? SLOW THE **** DOWN! And why add like three more Mike solos to a song driven by Mike solos! And why add a freaking drum solo? Sorry, Matt, you're a great rhythm guy but you can't solo if you're life depended upon it? It's the quintessential song that people use to show Ed's EERRRRRR voice and that he sounds nonsensical at the same time. But, if I can show so much disdain for a song, why did I even put it this high? Because it's Even Flow. And the song is awesome."


    im not exxxactly sure how i feel about this....
    I REALLY dig the fact u were bent about dumb chicks thinking it was just a guitar hero song. You shoulda back handed them! But truly-The Master McCready IS a GUITAR HERO!!! :D
    and i DONT like the 'yay no EVENFLOW' part. Whats THAT about! and complaints of more McCready????? however, i COMPLETELY agree with 'why add a drum solo'!!!!! YES!!! i do NOTTTT dig that AT ALL during the FLOW. Cameron is great but leave the FLOW alone!!!! Thats like adding a BOOM solo in there!!! :eek: and then u end with 'the song is awesome'. You took me for a spin there kid!!!! at least u didnt say it sucks and dont ever play it!!!
    ~~~~~~ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD TIME~~~~~~
    Sir Mike McCready is....THE MASTER!!! WAHHH!!!
    EVENFLOW PSYCHOS H.N.I.C~FEEL THE FLOW!!!

    Ehh, my complaint was how they arrange it live mostly. I'm happy when it's not played live because it's an 8 minute song and I've heard it all before. But, that's just me and I'm sure that they need to play it for the 90% of the audience that actually wants to hear it performed live. Sometimes the solos get too much in that song for me live... The RVM version though is killer. It's perfectly played how the song was supposed.
